Chinese Physicist Reportedly Said Team’s Quantum Computer Bested Google’s by a Million-fold
While verification remains, the South China Morning Post is reporting that a Chinese quantum computer team built a device that achieved quantum supremacy — and did so at a performance level far beyond Google’s recent work. However, the team seems to be walking back from previous claims that were making the rounds in China earlier […]
4 Movers & Shakers of Trapped-Ion Technology
Photo by Junaid Ahmed on Unsplash From The Mind Of Wolfgang Paul What’s an ion? Is it a bird, a plane? I don’t think so. It’s a lot more than that. For the dissolute barbarians out there, ions are simply charged atomic particles. These ‘ions’, are — in essence — singular, suspended little things in the whole of free space, using […]
